AfterH310 this openedH6605 JobH347 his mouthH6310, and cursedH7043 his dayH3117.
And JobH347 spakeH6030, and saidH559, {spake: Heb. answered}
Let the dayH3117 perishH6 wherein I was bornH3205, and the nightH3915 in which it was saidH559, There is a man childH1397 conceivedH2029.
Let that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; let not GodH433 regardH1875 it from aboveH4605, neither let the lightH5105 shineH3313 upon it.
Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350 it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931 upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the…: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}
As for that nightH3915, let darknessH652 seizeH3947 upon it; let it not be joinedH2302 unto the daysH3117 of the yearH8141, let it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391. {let it not be…: or, let it not rejoice among the days}
Lo, let that nightH3915 be solitaryH1565, let no joyful voiceH7445 comeH935 therein.
Let them curseH5344 it that curseH779 the dayH3117, who are readyH6264 to raise upH5782 their mourningH3882. {their…: or, leviathan}
Let the starsH3556 of the twilightH5399 thereof be darkH2821; let it lookH6960 for lightH216, but have none; neither let it seeH7200 the dawningH6079 of the dayH7837: {the dawning…: Heb. the eyelids of the morning}
Because it shut not upH5462 the doorsH1817 of my mother's wombH990, nor hidH5641 sorrowH5999 from mine eyesH5869.
Why diedH4191 I not from the wombH7358? why did I not give up the ghostH1478 when I came outH3318 of the bellyH990?
Why did the kneesH1290 preventH6923 me? or why the breastsH7699 that I should suckH3243?
For now should I have lain stillH7901 and been quietH8252, I should have sleptH3462: then had I been at restH5117,
With kingsH4428 and counsellorsH3289 of the earthH776, which builtH1129 desolate placesH2723 for themselves;
Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701:
Or as an hiddenH2934 untimely birthH5309 I had not been; as infantsH5768 which never sawH7200 lightH216.
There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troublingH7267; and there the wearyH3019+H3581 be at restH5117. {weary: Heb. wearied in strength}
There the prisonersH615 restH7599 togetherH3162; they hearH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the oppressorH5065.
The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113.
Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in miseryH6001, and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315;
Which longH2442 for deathH4194, but it cometh not; and digH2658 for it more than for hid treasuresH4301; {long: Heb. wait}
Which rejoiceH8056 exceedinglyH1524, and are gladH7797, when they can findH4672 the graveH6913?
Why is light given to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hidH5641, and whom GodH433 hath hedged inH5526?
For my sighingH585 comethH935 beforeH6440 I eatH3899, and my roaringsH7581 are poured outH5413 like the watersH4325. {I eat: Heb. my meat}
For the thing which I greatlyH6343 fearedH6342 is comeH857 upon me, and that which I was afraidH3025 of is comeH935 unto me. {the thing…: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me}
I was not in safetyH7951, neither had I restH8252, neither was I quietH5117; yet troubleH7267 cameH935.

In all this JobH347 sinnedH2398 not, nor chargedH5414 GodH430 foolishlyH8604. {charged…: or, attributed folly to God}
Therefore doth JobH347 openH6475 his mouthH6310 in vainH1892; he multipliethH3527 wordsH4405 withoutH1097 knowledgeH1847.
Let the dayH3117 perishH6 wherein I was bornH3205, and the nightH3915 in which it was saidH559, There is a man childH1397 conceivedH2029.
But he saidH559 unto her, Thou speakestH1696 as oneH259 of the foolish womenH5036 speakethH1696. WhatH1571? shall we receiveH6901 goodH2896 at the hand of GodH430, and shall we not receiveH6901 evilH7451? In all this did not JobH347 sinH2398 with his lipsH8193.
I was dumbH481 with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814, even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916. {stirred: Heb. troubled}
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 all that he hath, and he will curseH1288+H3808 thee to thy faceH6440. {and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}
My heartH3820 was hotH2552 withinH7130 me, while I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197: thenH227 spakeH1696 I with my tongueH3956,
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, and he will curseH1288 thee to thy faceH6440.
Then saidH559 his wifeH802 unto him, Dost thou still retainH2388 thine integrityH8538? curseH1288 GodH430, and dieH4191.
